Mediating Urban Social Encounters – Co-Design of Robotic Street Furniture with Adolescents

With the ongoing shift into the digital, spontaneous social encounters in public spaces are becoming challenging for adolescents. This study explores how robotic street furniture could facilitate meaningful adolescent social interaction. In a focus group and a theater-based co-design workshop, fourteen adolescents env…

The Quality of Speculation – A Scoping Review

In Human-Computer Interaction, speculative design is widely used to explore the opportunities and challenges of future technologies. However, the criteria that define a “good” speculation are scattered throughout the literature. This challenges the application and evaluation of speculative design especially in an acad…

Design Fiction in a Corporate Setting – a Case Study

While speculative methods (e.g., design fiction) could help industry to reflect critically about future products and services, little is known about their potentials and limits when applied in a corporate setting. In this case, we worked with an automobile manufacturer to explore the near future of self-driving cars.…

The Intricacies of Social Robots: Secondary Analysis of Fictional Documentaries to Explore the Benefits and Challenges of Robots in Complex Social Settings

In the design of social robots, the focus is often on the robot itself rather than on the intricacies of possible application scenarios. In this paper, we examine eight fictional documentaries about social robots, such as SEYNO, a robot that promotes respect between passengers in trains, or PATO, a robot to watch movi…

The Uncanny Valley Effect in Zoomorphic Robots: The U-Shaped Relationship Between Animal-Likeness and Likeability

The uncanny valley effect denotes a dip in the positive relation between a robot’s human likeness and likeability. This paper provides first evidence that this design-guiding effect is not limited to humanoids, but extends to zoomorphic robots. In a first online survey, a diverse group of 235 participants rated the an…

Becoming a Robot – Overcoming Anthropomorphism with Techno-Mimesis

Employing anthropomorphism in physical appearance and behavior is the most widespread strategy for designing social robots. In the present paper, we argue that imitating humans impedes the full exploration of robots' social abilities. In fact, their very 'thingness' (e.g., sensors, rationality) is able to create 'supe…

Changing Perspective: A Co-Design Approach to Explore Future Possibilities of Divergent Hearing

Conventional hearing aids frame hearing impairment almost exclusively as a problem. In the present paper, we took an alternative approach by focusing on positive future possibilities of 'divergent hearing'. To this end, we developed a method to speculate simultaneously about not-yet-experienced positive meanings and n…
